Welcome back to another episode of our podcast all about the ABC reality series The Bachelor and it's many spin-offs.

ThePopBreak.com's Michelle Coraci, who has been recapping all things Bachelor for The Pop Break for years, and cohost DJ Chapman, of Mostly Nitpicking, are back covering The Bachelor’s 26th Season!

This week we cover all of the developing drama with Cassidy, the feud between Elizabeth and Shanae, as well as Clayton's one on one with Sussie. We give our predictions for what happens after the cliff-hanger and where we think the season is going.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are back for their first podcast of 2022. For their January TV podcast, the brothers are discussing Cory in the House, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary.

Cory in the House is a sitcom created by Dennis Rinsler and Marc Warren. It premiered on Disney Channel on January 12, 2007. It ran for 34 episodes over two seasons, ending on September 12, 2008. The series is a spinoff of That’s So Raven.

The show follows a teenager named Cory Baxter (Kyle Massey), who has a penchant for absurd schemes. Cory moves to the White House after his father, Victor (Rondell Sheridan), becomes the President's chef. Cory’s best friends are Newt (Jason Dolley), son of the Chief Justice and a Senator, and Meena (Maiara Walsh), daughter of the Bahavian ambassador. Other characters include President Martinez (Joaquin D’Aquino) and his daughter, Sophie (Madison Pettis).

Since its short run, Cory in the House has become an Internet meme. Meme fans jokingly refer to it as an anime and have ironically praised its video game on Metacritic and Amazon.

Josh and Aaron look at the show’s premiere and go into its characters, comedy, and similarities to other Disney Channel series. They also discuss the Internet meme.

Cory in the House is available for purchase on AppleTV. 

For more Disney, you can check podcasts on Monsters, Inc. and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Welcome back to another episode of our podcast all about the ABC reality series The Bachelor and it's many spin-offs.

ThePopBreak.com's Michelle Coraci, who has been recapping all things Bachelor for The Pop Break for years, and cohost DJ Chapman, of Mostly Nitpicking, are back covering The Bachelor’s 26th Season!

This week they recap the Season Premiere of Clayton's season of the Bachelor. They cover all of the memorable entrances, outfits, and the drama that occured night one with Claire. Michelle & DJ also give their predictions for their final four, and what they’re looking forward to this season.

Welcome to TV Break, where Pop Break’s Podcasts Editor Alex Marcus is joined by editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin, and TV Columnist Josh Sarnecky to talk about the happenings in television.

Here’s the format of the show:

The Best Thing I Saw on TV Last Month – Alex, Bill, and Josh talk about a show/episode/event they liked from the last month including Disney Plus’s Hawkeye; Netflix’s The Witcher; and Peacock’s Saved By The Bell.

Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, and Josh pick a streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows airing/upcoming shows announced etc. This month, Bill & Josh agree that between the smash streaming hit of The Matrix: Resurrections, the high profile reunion special of Harry Potter, the hugely talked about finale of Succession & premiere of And Just Like That, and their recent and upcoming DC content, HBOMAX easily took the month. However, Alex handed the month over to Netflix thanks to their release of his favorite film of the year, The Lost Daughter, along with The Witcher S2, Adam McKay’s star-studded and much tweeted over Don’t Look Up, and a smorgasbord of Christmas movies.

News Break – Alex, Bill, and Josh remember the seventy-year career of TV legend Betty White, who passed away on New Years’ Eve at age 99. Here is the clip of Joan Rivers interviewing Betty that was discussed during this segment.

New Series Spotlight – Alex, Bill, and Josh watched the new Disney Plus original series The Book of Boba Fett, the streamer’s second live action Star Wars series.
